you should be able to use:
ebuild<path-to-ebuild>/glibc-2.14.1-r3.ebuild package
Quoting the manpage:
package
This command is a lot like the merge command, except that
after fetching, unpacking, com‐
piling and installing, a .tbz2 binary package tarball is
created and stored in PKGDIR (see
make.conf(5)).
You may need to set PKGDIR.
It still aborts with
* Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system:
* Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction
* ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 failed (setup phase):
* aborting to save your system
Is there an override for that?
